Antonio F. Vultao, 72, of Fall River and longtime-companion of Ann Garcia, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 21, 2021 at Charlton Memorial Hospital. Born in Santo Antonio, St. Michael, Azores, he was a son of the late Jacinto Viveiros Vultao and the late Maria dos Anjos (Ferreira) Vultao.

Prior to his retirement, he was an assembly worker for Chamberlain Manufacturing for many years. An avid Benfica fan, he also loved wrestling, gardening, and the card game "biska". But what was most important to Antonio, was spending quality time with family.

Besides his long-time companion of thirty-four years, he leaves: his brother, Jose Maria Vultao of the Azores; his sisters, Alice Farias and Maria de Gracia Meaez, both of the Azores, and Maria dos Anjos Porto of New Bedford; and several nieces and nephews.

Following a private cremation, His Memorial Funeral Mass was celebrated on Friday, October 8th, in St. Anthony of Padua Church. His ashes were buried privately at St. Patrick Cemetery.
